5 Old-School Beat ‘Em Ups That Could Use a Comeback

Alien vs. Predator

Recommended Videos

Look, the Alien vs. Predator franchise probably hasn’t had the most prodigious output as of late. Possibly one of the best things to ever come out of this sci-fi horror marriage is a game you may have never played or knew existed. Capcom’s Alien vs. Predator was released in the arcade in 1994 and is every bit as ridiculous as you think it might be.

The fictional city of San Drad has been overrun by aliens, and it is up to two cyborgs Dutch (yes, the same) and Linn with two predators Warrior and Hunter to clear out the city. All four of AvP’s characters are incredibly fun to play and the game’s art direction is top notch. Alien vs. Predator was in fact recently released as part of the Capcom Home Arcade stick.
